Today was a bitter-sweet day. It was the last day of my leave and I decided that I had to spend it wisely. Rueben and I went for lunch and then went for a drive. Rueben said that no holiday in Cape Town is complete without taking a drive around the Peninsula. He couldn’t have said it better! We stopped at Boulder’s Beach because we both haven’t been there in years and we wanted to see the penguins. They’re so cute and the views are spectacular. Is it even possible to be in a bad mood in this place?

You can see from the pics that the wind has been at it again. So, no the dress is not a very weird shape. For me personally, a dress is a prerequisite for a scenic drive. Pretty dresses and pretty views just go together. Let’s hope that being back at work is not that bad.

I love this post! I was there in April (obviously, being a good tourist) and you really do come from one of the most beautiful places on earth. Really good penguin photos by Reuben, by the way, I know how hard it is to get a good one close enough!

And I love your dress! I have a similar patchwork kind of one. They’re so summery!

Hi there! I found you via Lulu Letty! (Congrats on your winning). I just wanted to say that I love your Blog and I’m your newest Follower now. The Photos above are amazing and I love your dress. Such a great pattern! Maybe you want to have a Look at my Blog too? I would be glad

Hi Anthea-Happy New Year! That has also happened to me in a few pictures with the wind! But nonetheless the dress is gorgeous and you look so beautiful. I love the handbag : ) Oh I wish I could be on a beach right about now.

What cute patchwork on that dress! I think it was on your blog where I last read about dresses being perfect for scenic outings—I totally agree! Wind, though sometimes can be annoying, adds a great effect to dresses in pictures as long as you don’t have anything show underneath haha.
